Jay,

Meanwhile, people think flying is expensive. I guess I'll never
understand some people.


Have you ever seen any bikini babes hang out at the local airport?

Seriously. The thing about a boat is, you can pull up alongside some
island in the lake or river somewhere, toss your anchor overboard and
relax. My boat didn't earn the nickname "Hooterville Cannonball" for
nothin'... Dollar for dollar and hour for hour, my ol' runabout definately
rivals what I pay for flying in entertainment value.

It is a shame to see these magnificant yachts and cruisers just sitting
dockside growing moss year after year, though.


In the old Disney movie "The Boatniks", Wally Cox was the rich guy whose
boat never left the marina. When asked why not, he replied that it
couldn't, because he'd replaced the engines with a wine cellar...
